Editorial Comments

Product Description:
Marbles evoke memories of childhood and simpler times;

perhaps this is why they are collected with such enthusiasm!

Marble fans won?t want to go without this fantastic reference,

which has been the standard collecting guide since its first

publication nearly 35 years ago. Collecting Antique Marbles

not only provides up-to-date pricing information, it provides

collecting tips and advice on the hobby every collector should

know.

This long-awaited 4th edition provides a full-color look at the

rarest and most collectible marbles in the world, aiding in

identification and giving marble enthusiasts an eyeful of what?s

out there. A history of marble types and manufacturers is

included in the book, as well as important information on

spotting fakes and reproductions. A new chapter on Carpet

Bowls joins updated chapters on German Swirls, Onionskins,

Clambroths and Indians; Lutz; Sulphides and End-of-Day;

Transition and Machine-Made, and many more.

5 out of 5 starsA great reference book for marble collectors
My wife got this for Christmas and was really thrilled with this book. She has been collecting "german swirls" for 30 years and we have many of those. This book provides great detailed pictures and descriptions of the process used to make these remarkable craft pieces. She thought that there was different explanations in this book from some others she has, but the differences were really minor. Also, she thought in some cases the values seemed to be extremely high; yet, we both thought that that could be the result of the marble being reviewed by the author versus ones we have seen of a similar type. Quality is always the key! A great book for a marble collector.



4 out of 5 starsGOOD REFERANCE MATERIAL
I is a good reference book for marbles. A bit dis-jointed and hard to follow. Pictures are not as clear as some other referance material but book should be in a marble collectors library.
